Preparation method for high optical indoxacarb intermediate
A field of asymmetric catalytic synthesis, and in particular a preparation method for a high optical indoxacarb intermediate includes reacting 5-chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone ester (or indanone ester for short) with an oxidizing agent in the presence of a chiral Zr-salen polymer to obtain an indoxacarb intermediate (2S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester. The yield is stabilized between 86% and 90%, and the S-enantiomer content is up to 99%. Such catalyst can replace catalysts such as cinchonine, and greatly increase the content of the effective S-enantiomer of the indoxacarb, so that the content of the hydroxyl intermediate S-enantiomer of the indoxacarb is raised from 75% to 99% or more. In addition, the chiral Zr-salen polymer catalyst is recycled without retreatment, and can be recycled at least 5 times or more, greatly reducing the production cost and laying a foundation for the industrial production of high quality indoxacarb.

The invention relates to the field of asymmetric catalytic synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high optical indoxacarb intermediate, in particular to a method for preparing a high optical indoxacarb intermediate (2S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester by using a high-efficiency Zr-salen polymer as a catalyst.
Background TechnologyIndoxacarb is a new, highly effective and low toxic oxadiazine pesticide developed by DuPont Company of the United States. It has double effects of contact killing and stomach toxicity, and effectively solves resistant pests. Indoxacarb, due to its unique mechanism of action and broad market prospects, is a substitute for high toxicity and high residue pesticide varieties widely demonstrated and popularized by China's Ministry of Agriculture.
With the end of indoxacarb patent period, many domestic enterprises began to research the synthesis process of products and produce them, but the original pesticide of indoxacarb that they achieved through synthesis is a mixture of S and R (S:R=3:1), in which the R-enantiomer in the original pesticide has no efficacy but causes environmental pollution and high cost of medicine. Therefore, the development of a synthetic method of the S-indoxacarb has become a hot topic at home and abroad. At present, there are three main catalysts used in the synthesis of indoxacarb:
First, using quinine catalysts such as cinchonine, but the efficiency of these catalysts is low, and the content of the hydroxyl intermediate S-enantiomer of the indoxacarb is about 75%.
Second, using metal complex catalysts. In 2005, DuPont Company reported a zirconium catalyst in publication CN1630555A, which can increase the content of the S-enantiomer of the indoxacarb to 99%, but the usage of the catalyst is large, more than 15% of the weight of indanone ester. The catalyst mentioned in the publication is homogeneous in the system, which is not easy to recycle, and can be utilized only after reprocessing. Moreover, the catalytic effect of this kind of catalyst can be significantly reduced when it is recycled once without adding new catalyst. And times of recycling are limited, and the production cost is high.
Third, biological enzyme method using the selected special enzyme can increase the content of the S-enantiomer of the indoxacarb to 99%, but the production cost of this method is very high and the production efficiency is low, so it is not suitable for large-scale industrial production.
The optical level of indoxacarb intermediate (2S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester directly determines the final optical level of indoxacarb, so how to overcome the defects of catalyst and synthesis method in the synthesis process of indoxacarb intermediate becomes one of the problems to be solved in the field.
Content of InventionAiming at the defects of the prior art, this invention provides a method for preparing a high optical indoxacarb intermediate (2S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester, which is suitable for industrialized production. This invention adopts a brand-new catalyst, which the catalyst can be used for preparing indoxacarb instead of the original catalysts such as cinchonine and the like. The high molecular effect enables the reaction effect of the heterogeneous catalytic reaction system to reach the reaction effect of the homogeneous catalytic system; the catalyst is convenient to recycle, which can be recycled for more than 5 times on the basis of not supplementing the new catalyst; the content of the hydroxyl intermediate S-enantiomer of the indoxacarb is kept above 99%; and according to the optical requirements of products, the catalyst dosage or recycling times can be adjusted to meet the requirements for preparing indoxacarb with different optical contents. Thus the production cost of high-optical indoxacarb is greatly reduced, which lays a solid foundation for its industrialized production.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
The inventor first provided a brand-new chiral catalyst containing zirconium, namely chiral Zr-salen polymer, and the preparation reaction equation is as follows:
Wherein: R is
n is 100˜20000.
The specific steps are as follows:
(1) Adding solvent I, 3-tert-butyl-5-styrylsalicylaldehyde and (1S,2S)-(−)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine or (1S,2S)-(+)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine into a reaction flask. Raising the temperature for reflux reaction. After the reaction is finished, and a condensate is obtained after lowering the temperature and filtration.
(2) Dissolving the condensate in solvent II. Raising the temperature to 50-60° C., and dripping a reducing agent. Removing the solvent II after the reaction. Adding water into the system, and a ligand monomer of catalyst A or catalyst B is obtained after extraction, desolvation, crystallization, lowering the temperature and filtration.
(3) Putting the ligand monomer of catalyst A or catalyst B into a pressure-resistant reaction flask. Using ethanol/water as a solvent III and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator, carrying out hydrothermal polymerization at 110-120° C. A polymer ligand is obtained after filtration and drying.
(4) Putting the polymer ligand and zirconium-containing metal compound in toluene at 50-80° C. to carry out complexation reaction. After the reaction, a toluene system of catalyst A or catalyst B is obtained.
In the above preparation process:
In step (1), the solvent I is methanol. Duration of the reflux reaction is 6-7 h. The mole ratio of 3-tert-butyl-5-styrylsalicylaldehyde and (1S,2S)-(−)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine or (1S,2S)-(+)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine is 2:1-1.1. The dosage of the solvent I is 8-10 times of the mass of (1S,2S)-(−)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine or (1S,2S)-(+)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine.
The 3-tert-butyl-5-styrylsalicylaldehyde used in step (1) is prepared by bromination of 3-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde and then coupling reaction with 4-vinylphenylboronic acid. The raw material is easy to obtain. The specific reaction process can refer to reference: preparation of dendritic and non-Dendritic styryl-Substituted salens for cross-Linking suspension copolymerization with styrene and multiple use of the corresponding Mn and Cr complexes in enantioselective epoxidations and Hetero-Diels-Alder reactions.
In step (2), the solvent II is tetrahydrofuran. The reducing agent is sodium borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride or potassium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride. The mole ratio of the reducing agent and the condensate is 2-4:1; the dosage of the solvent TT is 4-8 times of the mass of the condensate. The reducing agent is usually dissolved in solvent II alone for dripping. Carrying out heat preservation reaction for 0.5 h after drop adding.
The weight of the water added in step (2) is 2-4 times of the weight of the condensate. Extraction with ethyl acetate, and the weight of ethyl acetate added is 6-10 times of the weight of the condensate. The crystallization solvent is methanol. The dosage of methanol is 4-8 times of the weight of the condensate.
In step (3), the solvent III is the mixture of ethanol and water. The volume ratio of ethanol to water is 3:1. The dosage of the solvent III is 6-10 times of the weight of the ligand monomer of Catalyst A or Catalyst B, and the dosage of AIBN is 0.5%˜2% of the weight of the ligand monomer of Catalyst A or Catalyst B. The reaction duration is 16-20 h, and the reaction pressure is 0.3 to 0.5 MPa. Among them, the volume ratio of ethanol to water and the dosage of the solvent III have a greater impact on the particle size of the polymer in the later stage. Different ratios will get polymers with different sizes. Using the conditions described in this Invention, the particle size of the polymer can be controlled within 0.1 to 1 mm.
In step (3), the particle size of the polymer ligand is 0.1-1 mm. If the catalyst particle size is too small, the loss of the catalyst in the reaction process is large, and the catalyst is hard to be recycled; if the catalyst particle size is too large, the contact area between catalyst and reaction substrate is small, resulting in a long reaction period, which will affect the catalytic effect of catalyst.
The zirconium compound in step(4) is selected from zirconium hydroxide, zirconyl chloride octahydrate, zirconium dioxide, zirconium(IV) acetylacetonate, zirconium trifluoroacetylacetonate, n-propyl zirconate, zirconium(IV) tert-butoxide, zirconium(IV) hydrogenphosphate and zirconium(IV) bromide, and mixtures thereof.
In step (4), the mole ratio of the polymer ligand to the zirconium-containing metal compound is 1-1.5:1. The dosage of the toluene is 4-10 times of the weight of the polymer ligand.
Adding 5-chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone ester in toluene solution into the toluene system of catalyst A or catalyst B obtained by the above method, dripping oxidant at 50-80° C. to carry out asymmetric synthesis reaction. After the reaction is finished, cooling it to 60-65° C. Catalyst A or Catalyst B is recovered by hot filtration. After the filtrate is concentrated, cooled and filtered, the high optical indoxacarb intermediate (2S)-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxy-1-oxo-1H-indene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is obtained; at the same time, the recovered Catalyst A or Catalyst B is put into toluene solvent to form a suspension, which can continue to participate in the above asymmetric synthesis reaction. The specific reaction route is as follows:
Wherein the oxidant is tert-butyl hydroperoxide or m-chloroperbenzoic acid or cumyl hydroperoxide; in terms of the mole ratio of pure matter, the oxidant to 5-chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone ester is 1:1.2-3; the added dosage of catalyst A or catalyst B is 1%-5% of the mass of 5-chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone ester; in the 5-chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone ester in toluene solution, the dosage of toluene is 2-4 times of the weight of 5-chloro-2-methoxycarbonyl-1-indanone ester.
The present invention adopts a high-efficiency Zr-salen polymer catalyst, which is an asymmetric catalytic oxidation catalyst. Electron and stereo effects of catalyst substituents induce oxidation reaction with high enantioselectivity to proceed, which improves the reaction selectivity. The content of the hydroxyl intermediate S-enantiomer of the indoxacarb is raised from 75% to more than 99%. The introduction of the organic polymerization ligand realizes the recycling of the high-efficiency chiral catalyst, greatly reduces the production cost. Synthesis process of this catalyst is simple, which is favorable for industrialization, and lays a good foundation for the production of high-quality indoxacarb.
